Acrocanthosaurus

Doing T. rex before T. rex was even invented!

Spinosaurus

The enigma wrapped in a mystery, slathered in conundrum sauce.

Smilodon

Terrifying humans for tens of thousands of years despite its scientific name sounding like it belongs to a used car salesman. Curse you and your lemons, Smilin’ Don!

Dire wolf

Just when you think the paleontology has a good bead on a critter, SOMEBODY has to go and do a genetic study on it! Ain’t science grand?

Camptosaurus

It’s one dinosaur that could actually give a film two (pointy) thumbs up!

Camarasaurus

Photogenic, yes, but it doesn’t take the pictures itself.

Brachiosaurus

“Um, look at that. It’s . . . it’s a dinosaur!”

Baryonyx

Here, fishy fishy!

Austroraptor

Whatever you do, don’t make fun of its short arms. T. rex might wave jokes like that off, but Austroraptor? No. Not in eighty million years. It holds grudges, that one.

Amargasaurus

Too weird to be real, too real to be any less stranger than fiction.
